Candy Medicine
I abuse the power of these pills
the ones the doctor gave,
the numbness it brings
making me their robotic slave,
I feel it overtake my system
cold snow, blank static fuzz, numb
that's it yes, here I am?
I'm the someone who is no one.
Tell me, tell me, pray tell me,
don't you hate to feel
I hate the way it is,
no it doesn't seem real.
So I take the pills the doctor gave
because I can't stand the pain
I don't like the sunshine
when I'm cold as rain
so tonight I'll take them
1,2,10, just right
then I'll be frozen forever
I don't want to feel tonight.
